Describes objects that contain both a managed pointer to a location and a runtime representation of the type that may be stored at that location.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

public struct TypedReference

The TypedReference type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework Equals Checks if this object is equal to the specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)

In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by Equals(Object).
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetHashCode Returns the hash code of this object. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)

In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by GetHashCode().
Public method Static member GetTargetType Returns the type of the target of the specified TypedReference.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Static member MakeTypedReference Makes a TypedReference for a field identified by a specified object and list of field descriptions.
Protected method Supported by the XNA Framework MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Static member SetTypedReference Converts the specified value to a TypedReference. This method is not supported.
Public method Static member TargetTypeToken Returns the internal metadata type handle for the specified TypedReference.
Public method Static member ToObject Converts the specified TypedReference to an Object.
Public method Supported by the XNA Framework ToString Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.)

In XNA Framework 3.0, this member is inherited from Object.ToString().

A typed reference is a type/value combination used for varargs and other support. TypedReference is a built-in value type that can be used for parameters and local variables.

Arrays of TypedReference objects cannot be created. For example, the following call is invalid:

C#
C++
VB
Copy 

		Assembly.Load("mscorlib.dll").GetType("System.TypedReference[]");
